Late descendants of the Hawaii natives, struggling with their heritage – and with the upcoming death of a cheating wife. Doesn’t sounds great. And it’s mostly George Clooney‘s acting I enjoy. It’s a very nice story about family love and about getting back into life. The main character is also so very sympathetic that I wonder what the problem really is. The problem is the dialogue, it’s a bit artificial though there’s not always a need for much talk. I was a bit surprised by that, given the academy award for the screenplay.
